From Their Table To Yours: Spiced Slow Cooker Pork Butt Roast

The Mogler family has been a fixture in northwest Iowa for more than a century, sowing the seeds of a tradition of hard work, humility and responsible stewardship of the land.

What began pre-Depression as a small family farm is now a thriving business that employs sustainable farming practices, state-of-the-art technology and multiple generations. Even the tiniest of the Moglers (the fifth generation) love and celebrate their work. And so do we.

Hormel Foods is honored to stand side by side with the Moglers and to share one of their time-honored recipes with your extended family.
